  1. provide more details on the replica set elected a new primary

    today the details on this event are very low and have only the replica set name which is not enough, can you also add the correlated cluster name to the exposed details?
    more over if this is something that can be monitored by the metrics going to Datadog?

  2. Pending updates alerts

    I'd like to be able to have alerts for all those databases that are using a version that is not the latest major version available.

    This will help to be more proactive so that updates can be planned in advance without the need to manually review the available versions from time to time. It will also help in the implementation of security controls such as SOC2.

  3. Add option to alert on "degraded" state of cluster

    I would like to setup an alert for the cluster state 'degraded', which isn't available as an option at the moment. Could you consider adding this as an option?

  4. Don't cut alert names

    This is very hard to figure out what these alert mean, I have to go to the documentation and match them somehow, but it also looks like the documentation is not up to date.

  5. More documentation about alert

    It would be great if there were a doc explaning what each Alert Event Types means (and even that could give us some examples). And the same documentation should explain wich alerts have thresholdconfig or metricthreshold_config.

    The documentation that I have found with a little explanation is thw below (and it shows some alerts type that don´t work)
    Example: OPLOGBEHIND => When trying to use this one on terraform, it returns an error saying it does not exist (the one that works is: REPLICATIONOPLOGWINDOWRUNNING_OUT)

  6. Include more actionable data in Alert emails

    Currently the alert emails just link to the profiler page with nothing selected. This makes it guess work if there are multiple items in the profiler to examine. If you are unable to check the profiler within 24 hours of the email, no data could exist specifically for the alert email.

    It would be much more actionable if the email alerts mentioned the collection that was being queried, the appName that triggered the query, and a direct link to the query in the profiler showing complete details of the query that triggered the alert.

    This would make triage near instant…

  7. Webhook

    Currently alert notification configuration allows webhook targets with a secret configuration. This limits us in terms of which webhooks could be configured. There are multiple webhooks which do not support secret configuration rather support Headers to be passed with authentication details.

    This request is to support additional set of header to be passed/added in the webhook configuration for alert notification.

    For example, during alert notification configuration I should be allow to configure additional set of headers like Authorization: "Basic cdge....==" and Source: "Atlas"; with Webhook URL configuration which is further used by target to first authorise POST call made by…

  8. Alerts for Atlas Limits

    It would really help to get alerts on Atlas Limits (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/atlas-limits/). Defining certain thresholds that would trigger an Alert as hitting these limits often involves work to re-structure something or creating a workaround. E.g. it is not possible to have more than 50 Endpoints per Project. But creating a new project is not a straightforward exercise. If the alert had occurred earlier there would have been more time to account for this.

  9. mTLS for Atlas Alert Webhook Integration

    Atlas currently does not support mTLS on HTTPS traffic to Alert webhooks. Some customers whose alerting services are on-premises may require this per their security policy. We should support mTLS on webhook integrations to enable those customers to use their on-premises alerting systems.

  10. Ability to create a custom alert based on a query run at configurable interval.

    There is currently no way to set up an Alert based on the results of a query directly in Atlas.
    One can achieve this functionality using realm and triggers but that can be difficult.

  11. Configure Alert "Insufficient disk space to support rebuilding search indexes" via API

    Currently, it's not possible to configure the alert "Insufficient disk space to support rebuilding search indexes" via API (and therefor also not by terraform).

    When setting the respective eventTypeName "HOSTDISKSPACEINSUFFICIENTFORSEARCHINDEX_REBUILD"

    I get the following response:

    400
    request "INVALIDENUMVALUE"
    An invalid enumeration value HOSTDISKSPACEINSUFFICIENTFORSEARCHINDEX_REBUILD was specified.

    The API should support this (and any other alerts configurable by the UI).

  12. Having the alert "Acknowledge for" option actually do acknowledge the alert for the specified time period

    I gathered that Atlas alerts are design to retrigger once the condition is met. Then what does acknowledge mean in that case when providing any timeframe like forever? To me acknowledging an alert forever means that the alert would never to raise again.

    In our case the number of connections for one cluster out of many goes slightly over the threshold, then shortly thereafter, goes below the threshold . The condition is 'flapping'. I know that this connection count condition is not leading to the number of connections to be exceeded. But, I don't want to ignore that alerts for…

  13. Auditing on high volume of data/records to capture malicious activity

    We would like to requesting in the MongoDB Audit logs the following attributes: (available in profiler )
    nreturned

    system.profile.responseLength

    Additionally if this could be a MongoDB Alert that would be extremely helpful as well if we could provide a threshold in size BYTES (system.profile.responseLength) and/or RECORDS returned (nreturned)

    This will help with security management in particular active auditing for capturing high volume of data/records returned by an account and could identify malicious activity or being hacked.

  15. Show overlapping Alert configurations between different scopes

    I wish there was a way to show an overlapping alert configuration. When alerts are defined on a global level but overridden on a project level, it is very hard to tell if something was overridden.

  16. A default ‘Send to’ method for Alert configuration

    I want to be able to define a default ‘Send to’ method that will be automatically configured during Alert creation.

    The default is email, but when we use a 3rd party integration like PagerDuty, it is quite tedious to create alerts manually. The only quick and perhaps correct way is through automation such as MongoCLI or Terraform.

  17. Single page to view all configured Alerts

    I want to be able to look through all of my Alerts for all of my projects on a single page to easily understand their state. I'd also like features to help me make sense of the aggregated list. (some type of sorting or filtering)

    I struggle to understand the state of all of my Alerts, across all projects, because there isn't a centralized place to view all of them. It's also hard to maintain a large set of alerts for a given project because there's no way to sort/order them.

  18. Have a configurable "active_for" alert parameter to only open alerts when conditions last a specified duration

    Some conditions are only worth an alert if this conditions persists for some time (usually minutes).

    One example: some poorly performing background queries produce spikes in the "Scanned objects/returned objects" metric. We only want an alert if the ratio remains consistently high for x minutes/hours, instead of triggering the alert whenever a workload has a short spike that crosses the threshold.

    My perception of the current state is as follows: once the metric reaches 1000, atlas will open an alert right away (it will show up in the UI under open alerts), but will wait with sending notifications until the…

  20. Alert configurations should be unique

    Atlas allows for the creation of duplicate alerts. Alert configurations should be unique such that exact duplicate configurations are prevented from being saved.
